Yoga Flow
Our philosophy is simple—we embrace the five thousand year old idea that a conscious yoga practice can transform us - creatively, spiritually and physically. Yoga helps us reveal the inner wisdom that is alive, uniquely, in each of us, and helps to remove obstacles to encourage that river of wisdom to freely flow. A vehicle for insight, and a catalyst for action -- yoga can help make the choices that are the best for ourselves and the community around us. This, we believe, is the essential foundation for a life of fulfillment, peace and ultimately freedom. On the lighter side, yoga is fun and practicing feels wonderful and who can't use more of that!
Yoga Fox
Keith’s Vinyasa style incorporates the first three series of the Ashtanga system. The sequencing of these asanas is safely designed to build core strength, lengthen the musculature, and open the heart. The combination of postures provides a place for each student to empower themselves and achieve inner peace.
In a typical 90 minute dynamic vinyasa class with Keith each student is challenged yet not discouraged, keeping it fun regardless of the student's level. The classes help eliminate stress for students as well as lighten their practice by strengthening the core and developing more of the subtle muscles rather than the larger gross muscles. The goal is to maintain a smooth and even heated breath.
Keith's intention is to provide a spiritual approach about the heart-opening light entering the soul. Whatever the reason you find yoga, and whatever style you find, experiment and eventually you will find the place which fills your heart and your soul and at that time…Yoga will have found you. Namaste!
